Description: 24 September 1988 Radio 3 discussion between Peter FULLER and Anthony BARNETT, chaired by Robert HEWISON, on England's Henry Moore (See 0011194). Hewison introduces the film and cites the attack on it by Fuller in Sunday Telegraph (See 0013086) and Modern Painters (See 0013198). Barnett questions Moore's role as Britain's cultural ambassador. Fuller points out that the film totally ignored Moore's art and was a peg on which Barnett hung his political views. The relationship between Kenneth Clark and Henry Moore was creative, and should not have been attacked in the film. The intellectual dishonesty of ignoring the Herbert Read influence on Moore was also cited by Fuller. Barnett says we should not believe what Moore said about Read's greater influence, and mentions the importance of World War 1 in shaping Moore's outlook. Fuller points out that the influence was different from that implied by the film, and criticises Barnett's statement about Reclining Figures being the massed working class". In a closing discussion on modernism and the timeless and timely role of art Fuller describes Moore as a post-modernist on a grand scale."
